Maintenance
Other than replacing the abrasive on the grinding
drum as needed, the belt grinder is maintenance-
free. Following the checklist and steps below will
help ensure safe operation and superior results.
WARNING!
Make sure the
unit is unplugged before performing any
maintenance or repair work!
•
After belt grinding is complete, vacuum any
dust and particulate from the unit.
•
Before each use, check that all guards are in
place and all fasteners are tight.
•
Regularly check the power cord and plug for
damage or wear, and replace it, if necessary.
•
Regularly check the drive belt for looseness or
wear, and adjust or replace as needed.
Replacing the abrasive cover:
The grinding drum uses a self-adhesive abrasive
cover. This should be replaced when the abrasive
surface becomes worn or clogged with belt
particulate. Failure to do so could result in difficulty
grinding and poor results.
1. Make sure the unit is unplugged.
2. Using a 7/16
″
wrench, remove the nuts that
secure the aluminum guard in place and remove
the guard.
3. Using a utility knife, carefully pry up the end of
the abrasive cover along the edge of the drum.
4. Carefully peel off the abrasive by slowly turning
the grinding drum as shown in Figure 11.
5. Remove any adhesive residue from the grinding
drum with a lint-free cloth and lacquer thinner.
Allow the drum to dry completely.
Pry up corner of old abrasive
cover and remove it as you
slowly rotate grinding drum
